Like the Butterfly

Happy Beautiful Day to You!  Today I have a card that I have created just for fun.  I have been looking at so many wonderful inspirational cards and this is the fruition of it.  The circle came from the challenge over at CAS on Sunday - circles and I was going to make an easel card like my wonderful friend Vicki has a tutorial on. (I messed up and so just had to adapt what I had with the paper I had left. It's not difficult with her tutorial, but....well perhaps I was just tired?) I shall try again for I've bookmarked her tutorial! Do go check it out HERE! And then for the embossing technique, I saw it on a friend of mine Natalie's blog and it just struck me as a must try!  Mine didn't turn out quite like hers, but I do love the different tones. Go and pop over to see her creation that inspired me, HERE!
So, I used a soft brown for the background of the embossing and a lighter brown and bundled sage ink for the raised areas.  I used some Offray ribbon, a TLC sentiment and a butterfly stamp from Inkadinkado.  The edging just looked too plain for me so I added the scallop to it.  It doesn't seem too CAS, but I tried.  My photo box is on a bit of a tilt so I added a couple of crocheted flowers to hold it in place :)
Well do have a wonderful day and enjoy all the little details the Lord Jesus brings your way!

I Love You CAS!

Hello, today I have a card I'd love to share with you that I've created for the challenge over at CAS on Sundays.  It's a new challenge blog that I've discovered via a fellow blogging friend (Vicki from Stamp Smiles) and thought I'd give it a go. I'm not too good at CAS cards, but do find them wonderful.  So here is my attempt as CAS card this week.  The challenge is Be Mine Valentine and you can come join in the fun HERE!
I used some textured cardstock for my base and then added some words that came with a K & Company paper pack I had.  Then I added some hearts that I cut out by hand (with paper from the same paper pac) and then sewed onto the card.  So I guess this counts as CAS.  I did do the inside a touch by adding some matching paper and sewed a couple hearts on it as well.

Thanks so much for dropping by! Have a wonderful day and don't forget to tell those you love that you love them....added hugs are always a bonus!
